Hello Antoine, How does one get a "cached" version of the repository list and where is it placed?
-->atomsRepositoryList() ans = !http://atoms.scilab.org/5.5 official ! -->atomsVersion() ans = 5.5 Is there an option to disable fetching when installing locally, presumably after one has cached module list.
